The Miami Dolphins have added another big receiver to an already deep unit, signing former Valdosta State receiver Gerald Ford to a contract on Tuesday.

Ford, who is 6-foot-3, 223 pounds, initially signed with the Cleveland Browns after the draft, but was released earlier this offseason.

Ford missed the 2011 and 2013 season due to being academically eligible, but he was named the Gulf South Conference Player of the Year in 2012 after catching 69 passes, 1,026 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns. ... 40-yard dash at 4.60 seconds and board jumped 10 feet, 4 inches at his Pro Day. He also lifted 225 pounds 22 times. ...

Well if this does not work out for him, he could marry someone named Betty and go into politics.

Thanks I was beginning to think I had dated myself too much.

For those who probably don't want to know and could care less when Gerald Ford, the former President, graduated from Michigan(mid 30's) he was a good football player and was offered a place on a couple of pro teams.
